100

The Law of Conservation of Energy tells us that energy is neither ______________________________________.

created nor destroyed

100

At what point does a roller coaster have the most kinetic energy?

At the bottom of the biggest hill

100

In the food web provided, how many producers are there?


One

100
The type of wave created when the disturbance causing the wave vibrates parallel to the direction of energy travelling through the wave.

Longitudinal wave

100

What is the difference between an energy transformation and energy transfer?

In a transformation, the energy form changes. In a transfer, the energy form stays the same, but the energy transfers to a new object.

200

What is the ability to do work or cause change?

What is energy

200

What kind of energy transformation takes place in a campfire?

Chemical energy is transformed into heat and light energy

Give an example of 1 food chain from the example food web provided.



Plankton -> penguin -> seal 

Plankton -> krill -> squid -> seagull

Plankton -> krill -> squid -> seal

Plankton -> krill -> seal

Plankton -> krill ->whale

200

The type of wave created when the disturbance causing the wave vibrates perpendicular to the direction of energy travelling through the wave.

Transverse wave

200

When there is a disturbance, such as a loud sound, the particles of matter do not move across the room. Instead, the energy transfers through _____________.

Waves
300

Since energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be _________ and ______________

transferred  ;   transformed

300

As something gets lifted higher off the ground, its _______  _______ increases

Potential Energy

300

In the food web provided, the seal is a ______________ consumer.


Tertiary


plankton (producer) > krill (primary consumer) > squid (secondary consumer) > seal (tertiary consumer)

300

A. longitudinal

B. transverse

300

A wave involves matter and energy. Which of these is transferred to the end of the wave?

Energy

400

On a roller coaster, there is friction on the track when the cart brakes towards the end. Energy is still conserved because the kinetic energy is transformed into ___________________.

Thermal energy?

400

Tabitha ate a turkey sandwich and an apple for lunch. Later that day, she ran 2 miles during soccer practice. Which of the following energy transformations occurred between lunchtime and the end of Tabitha’s run?

Chemical energy was converted to mechanical energy.

400

Explain an energy transfer that occurs in the food web provided.


Chemical energy form (organism 1) transfers to (organism 2) when the organism is eaten.

400

In a sound wave, the energy travels in the same direction that the particles vibrate. This is a _______________ wave.

Longitudinal

400

The type of energy that is formed when particles of solid, liquid or a gas vibrate.

What is sound energy?

500

Give two examples of systems where energy is conserved.

Roller Coaster

Food Web

Electrical Circuit

Photosynthesis

500
What energy transformations take place when you use a flash light?
chemical (in the batteries) --> electrical (in the wires) --> light (in the bulb)--> heat (comes from the bulb)
500

Explain two different energy transformations that take place in a food web.

Radiant -> Chemical (photosynthesis)

Chemical -> Mechanical (eating & moving)

Chemical -> Thermal (eating & making body heat)

500

In our waves unit, we completed two demonstrations. 

1) The dominoes knocking each other down

2) The water in the container with a wooden block and ping pong ball. 

Which type of waves were these?

1) longitudinal

2) transverse

500

Describe the type of wave that is present when you do "the wave" at a sporting event

A transverse wave - the people are moving up and down, but the wave travels sideways across the stadium (perpendicular)
